Dedicated Servers Description

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widespread web hosting solutions on the market. They are okay for small web pages that do not demand plenty of system resources and do not draw that many web site visitors, but for high resource-consuming online portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced solution is required. If you require an advanced, top-class hosting solution that can tackle even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated package is your best choice.

Tackle the High Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated service, you lease a whole physical machine whose resources will be utilized solely by your websites. Just like any PC, each dedicated server has one or more microprocessors operating at a specific speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated web server is in fact a computer with hardware aimed to tackle intense load and certain software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the websites hosted on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting vendor, or by the customer, depending on the specific dedicated package plan. In either instance, the side managing the web server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any specific time. Management is done through a web hosting Control Panel graphical user interface that permits you to monitor the tasks running on the machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Packages

There are various hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, etc. Given hosts provide dedicated packages utilizing one particular OS, while others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites need a Windows web server, for example, and will not perform on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will run on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, find out what the web hosting distributor provides and what the necessities of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software apps needed in order to administer a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the server, you can upload your files and bring the website online. Most hosting companies give root privileges, in other words you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Given script-powered platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Plenty of shopping cart software scripts, for instance, involve such a precondition, and being bestowed with root-level access to the dedicated server is critical for launching an online storefront. Other hosting vendors do not offer complete root-level access, but help the customer install the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers full root privileges.
